About MUSAN
MUSAN is Ayia Napa's underwater sculpture forest just off Pernera Beach, built around figurative works and tree forms in a protected marine setting. The visit is shallow and short, more like underwater art walking than a reef hunt, with a sandy bottom and clear water that suit easy sightseeing. Access is controlled through approved dive centers or the beach route beside the visitor centre, so it works best as a timed, calm-water outing.
